Tickets are £20 in advance and £25 on the gate. You can book tickets by visiting www.sussexcricket.co.uk/tickets or by calling 0844 264 0206. SEATING There is no reserved seating at Arundel. You are more than welcome to bring your own seats (low backed seats only please to avoid blocking the view of those behind) or use the fold out plastic seats on site. Arundel has an amphitheatre style set up so the viewing around the ground differs greatly. Viewing at the north end is slightly higher than at the south. The west side of the ground has an area designated for Sussex and Arundel Members, players and officials, this includes the Arundel Pavilion. The south west side plays host to our corporate hospitality area and several specialised marquees are in place for our corporate visitors to dine and watch all the cricket action. FACILITIES: FOOD/DRINK: There are several outlets on site, providing a variety of food and drink from local traders. Choices range from burgers, chips, hog roast, sandwiches. The Arundel ‘Tea Hut’ is situated just north of the Arundel Pavilion and provides a fine selection of home-made cakes and pastries for you to enjoy in the seating area. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic. Along with the food, there are several outlets for you to enjoy an alcoholic beverage, should you wish. The ‘Beer Tent’ is a favourite amongst most, hosting several local ales to complement your day’s cricket, and is situated on the east side of the ground. A selection of non-alcoholic drinks is also available. MONEY: Please note that there are no credit card facilities at the Ground. ALCOHOL POLICY: You are not permitted to bring any alcohol into the ground for the NatWest T20 Blast match. SMOKING POLICY: No smoking is allowed in any building or seated area. Please be considerate of others around you. TOILETS: We have several toilet blocks onsite including access toilets. There are toilets located in the east of the ground behind the corporate facilities, at the north of the ground near to the Sussex County Cricket Club (Sussex CCC) Club Shop. For Members, there are toilets behind the Pavilion in the west, where you will also find accessible facilities. DISABLED ACCESS: Arundel Castle Cricket Club is well equipped to host people with access requirements. The pathways around the ground are fairly wide and flat enough for walking frames, wheelchairs or mobility scooters. There is also availability to park you closer for easier access to the site. As with all our grounds, we allocate a designated viewing area for our disabled visitors and their companions as close to the field of play as safety allows. The accessible toilets are also located behind the Pavilion and by the main entrance, and in the north east corner – please note that other toilet blocks on this site have staired entries. Again, please speak to the Stewards on arrival should you require assistance. PARKING: There is plenty of parking at the Arundel ground. The main Car Park is located to the north of the ground – once within the Castle grounds you will be directed to this area by Sussex CCC Stewards. Once parked, entry to the ground is via The Iron Gate where your tickets will be checked or payment taken for entrance. Access to the ground from this Car Park is a short walk. Should you have any access requirements please make these known to the Stewards on your arrival and you will be directed to a parking area with better access.
There is a second car park located at the Castle End, used mainly for Arundel Cricket Club Members/Corporate Hospitality guests and disabled visitors. PLEASE NOTE: As there is one access road in and out of the ground this sometimes leads to queuing when arriving at the ground. It is advisable to allow extra time to avoid arriving after play has started. Queuing may also occur when play has ended, we would ask that you bear with the Stewards on these occasions as they will always do their best to clear the car parks quickly and safely. Parking is chargeable at £5 for Members and £10 for non-members, payable on the day or in advance from the Club website: www.sussexcricket.co.uk. TRAVEL: By train: Arundel Station is situated South of the town and river, just under one mile from the cricket ground. The walk, whilst taking you through the picturesque town of Arundel, may prove a challenge as it is mostly uphill. There is a taxi rank located at the train station and as this gets quite busy it is best to book in advance.
